TripAdvisor Announces Traveller Choice Destinations

TripAdvisor announced the Travellers Choice awards for Destinations on the Rise, for the sixth consecutive year including US, Europe and Asia destinations.

Ishigaki, Japan earned the ranking of number one in the world, while the small Hawaiian town of Kapaa, nestled at the base of Nounou Mountain on the island of Kauai, ranked as the top rising spot in the US.

The awards recognise 44 destinations around the world selected by measuring year-over-year increase in positive TripAdvisor traveller review ratings for accommodations, restaurants and attractions, as well as increase in search and booking interest.

"The Travellers' Choice Destinations on the Rise award winners are a great source of inspiration for travellers interested in going somewhere exciting that is emerging in popularity," said Brooke Ferencsik, senior director, communications, TripAdvisor.
